For the purposes of this subchapter, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them:
ANALOG. Either of the following:
(1) A substance, the chemical structure of which is substantially similar to the chemical structure of a federal Schedule I drug, a novel synthetic drug, or a novel psychoactive drug; or
(2) A substance which has, is represented as having, or is intended to have a stimulant, depressant or hallucinogenic effect on the central nervous system that is substantially similar to, or greater than, the stimulant, depressant, or hallucinogenic effect on the central nervous system of a federal Schedule I drug, a novel synthetic drug, or a novel psychoactive drug.
KRATOM. Any part of the plant Mitragyna speciosa, whether growing or not, and any compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of that plant, including but not limited to mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.
NOVEL PSYCHOACTIVE DRUG. Any compound, mixture, preparation, or substance, or its analog (including salts, isomers, esters, ethers, and salts of isomers), containing substances which have a psychedelic, psychotropic, hallucinogenic or other effect on the central nervous system or brain similar to the effect of any federal Schedule I drug or federal Schedule II drug, as listed in 21 C.F.R. §§ 1308.11 - 1308.12, not otherwise regulated or prohibited by state law.
NOVEL SYNTHETIC DRUG. Any synthetic cathinone not regulated or prohibited by state law.
SYNTHETIC CATHINONE. Any chemical compound which is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration or, if approved, which is not dispensed or possessed in accordance with state and federal law, not including bupropion, structurally derived from 2-aminopropan-1-one by substitution at the 1-position with either phenyl, naphthyl, or thiophene ring systems, whether or not the compound is further modified in one or more of the following ways:
(1) By substitution in the ring system to any extent with alkyl, alkylenedioxy, alkoxy, haloalkyl, hydroxyl, or halide substituents, whether or not further substituted in the ring system by one or more other univalent substituents. Examples of this class include 3,4-methylenedioxycathinone (bk-MDA);
(2) By substitution at the 3-position with an acyclic alkyl substituent. Examples of this class include 2-methylamino-1-phenylbutan-1-one (Buphedrone); and/or
(3) By substitution at the 2-amino nitrogen atom with alkyl, dialkyl, benzyl, or methoxybenzyl groups, or by inclusion of the 2-amino nitrogen atom in a cyclic structure.
TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL OR THC. Any naturally occurring or synthetic tetrahydrocannabinol, including its salts, isomers, and salts of isomers whenever the existence of such salts, isomers, and salts of isomers is possible within the specific chemical designation and any preparation, mixture, or substance containing, or mixed or infused with, any detectable amount of tetrahydrocannabinol or tetrahydrocannabolic acid, including, but not limited to, delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-10-tetrahydrocannabinol, tetrahydrocannabolic acid, tetrahydrocannabipherol, or hexahydrocannabinol, however derived, or any other substance determined to have similar intoxicating and psychoactive effects on the mind. As used in this definition, "isomer" means the optical, position, and geometric isomers.
